Kanazawa Race 5 - Race 5 - 1400
ESPERANTO (1) is back from a spell of three-and-a-half months. Closed last campaign with a minor placing over 1500m at this track. Expect him to play a major role. HATTO MERRILY (3) resumed last time out and finished third over 1500m at this track, beaten 7 lengths. Generally goes well here with a win and three minor placings from five tries. Looms large. LOULOUDI (4) returned from a spell two weeks ago when she was in the firing line on the bend before being beaten 8 lengths into fourth over 1500m at this track. Nicely placed to take this out. HEIMLICH KAISER (7) is back at the races for the first time since December 15. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1500m at this track. Has found a suitable race and is worth including.
